her dolly about what they would do when

MARK TWAIN'S LOST IDEA.
A Brilliant Literary Effort Smoth-
cred at Its Birth.

Mark Twain says that the funniest
thing he eyer wrote came to an IN
timely end and was lost entirely to the
world. It was his early western days
when he was a reporter on the Chronicle
of Virginia:City, New. In those days,
when the saloon was the social centre
of the town, and the opening of each
new one q matter OF general interest, it
was the custom for the proprietor of q
send basket of his choicest wares to
to return the compliment by giving 8
glowing account Of the opening. One
day basket of unusually choice wines
from a saloon that was to be of an
unusually aristoeratic order Inspired
Mark with brilliant idea. He wrote a
few lines in straight good English, but
the next began to be pretty badly mixed,
and as he represented one bottle after
another as having been sampled, APP
proved and emptied, he drifted on into
worse and worse confusion, until he
brought up in an inextricable tangIe of
incoherence, such as might be supposed
to possess the brain of a man who had
drank basket of mixed wine. But
when the paper came out he searched il
over and over in vain for his cherished
article. 1t was not there. But he did
find brief paragraph, setting forth in
the most commonplace, conventional
way imaginable the fact that basket
of wines had been received from Mr..
-, that they were very fine, and
that we bespeak for him the liberal pat
ronage he deserves. With fire in his
eye and profanity on his lips, Mark
started on an investigation and soon
settled the blame on the head of one of
the printers.
Why" said the fellow, 81 couldn't
make any head nor tail out of the copy,
and 1 concluded Mr.. Clements must
have been pretty full when he wrote it.
1 heard the editor say last week that if
he got drum K again he'd discharge him,
and thought if that stuff got into the
paper he'd have to go sure. Sol tore it
up and wrote this myself. Just thought
I'd save his place for him if l could" i
Before this honest friend, whose zeal
for his welfare had not left piece of
his priced article as big as nickel,
Mark could say no more. But he could
not reproduce it. It had been the swift
and brilliant inspiration of the moment,
and was completely gone. But he
mourned long over the fate of what he
always believed to be his most brilliant
production.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Business Failures Railroad Earn

There have been no local features to
note during the week; at the banks,
yesterday was voted very dull Satur-
day.
There is considerable speculation
among merchants as to the effects Of
the new inter State commerce bill, now
in the Presidents hands. While
all its provisions are not yet
thoroughly digested or understood,
it is generally felt that the long
and short haul clauses may
have a beneficial effect; especially in
opening markets for US at points where
Kansas and Nebraska products have

men as yet do not talk much, rather

SPECIAL kilograms to BradStreet'S
from leading trade centres characterize
the general commercial movement as
irregular, with the outlook favoring in
creased activity in the distribution of
staple products. In the lower Missis
sippi valley cold and wet weather has
checked marketing of agricultural pro-
ducts, while west and northwest low
temperature has facilitated the ship
ment of grain from the interior. Mild
weather which followed has checked
trading at interior points to meextent.
THERE were 391 failures in the United
States reported to Bradstreet's this
week, a very long list. Most of the
excess number were of traders with less
than S. 900 capital. Last week the
total was 291; in the second week of
1886, 299; 1885, 366, and in 1884, 2S2. For
two weeks failures were, in 1887, $50; in
